Battery drain - ballroom - 02-25-2021

Hello to everyone,

I would like to share an experience that I had, regarding my F11. As far I know it could happens with F10.

I had a drain battery, and was not easy to find the issue.

After a severall hours looking electric parts, I finally found the problem.
After all it was a leaking problem Smile

On rear door, with the rain, the water goe inside the door, and stay on bulb place.
So, it causes a short-circuit capacble to drain the battery very fast, when opening one of the doors! Including the trunk!

So I first solve the leaking water problem, heated the bulb piece and voilá, problem solved!

I must check the another's doors, because the leaking problem was the plastic that make separation inside the door, and with the time it lost some os "glue".
That plastic makes the insulation, preventing the water for coming in.

Well, hope that this could help someone.!

Lost two days to find and solve the problem!
Knowing this, could had solved the issue in 1 hour Smile

sorry, but this time I had made no video Sad
